Compliance-Based Determination of Fatigue Design Curves for Elastomeric Adhesive Joints
A compliance-based method for the determination of fatigue design curves for elastomeric adhesive joints is developed and validated. Fatigue experiments are conducted on elastomeric adhesives (a polyurethane and a silane-modified polymer) under different

A normalized area-compliance method for monitoring surface crack development in a cylindrical rod [PDF]
A Normalized Area-compliance method has been shown to be able to predict the depth of an elliptical surface crack in a cylindrical rod. The method involves a combination of optical surface crack length measurement and specimen compliance measurement.

Residual stress can significantly impact the fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) observed in standard tests. In the present study, implementation of the on-line crack compliance (OLCC) method for determining the residual stress intensity factor, Kres, in FCGR tests is supported by validation data, details of novel data analysis methods, and strategies for

Mode II Fracture of GFRP Laminates Bonded Interfaces under 4-ENF Test
This experiment studies the mode II fracture behavior of an adhesively bonded joint composed of GFRP laminates. A new beam model is presented to calculate the mode II ERR for GFRP bonded 4-ENF specimens.

Experimental characterization of interlaminar fracture toughness of composite laminates assembled with three different carbon fiber lamina [PDF]
In the present work, the fracture resistance of a carbon fiber composite under mode I and mode II loading have been experimentally determined. For the mode I and II, the energy release rate G has been determinate for each material.
